CEO's Maid in New York (BWWM) √

6. OOPS (edited)

Felix's POV

I sat in my office, impatiently tapping my feet on my carpeted floor. To say that I was restless was an understatement, since I had arrived at my office, five hours ago my mind had been at home. I have been thinking about Cindy and all the horrible things that she could be doing.

Would she run away and report me to the police station? Shit! In addition, if she does that then I would so screwed for the rest of my life. My thoughts taunted me.

I got up from my leather office chair and shut my laptop. I walked out of my office and took a stroll down the hallway, not really paying attention to my employees but I did notice them staring at me awkwardly, this sending a panic within me.

Why would they not look at me? I hardly remembered the last time I ever walked and looked at what it was that they were doing, rather I just stayed cooked up in my office like a stuffed turkey in an oven. Now that I thought about it, I felt like the worst boss on the planet.

As I walked further down the hallway, I came to an abrupt stop. I hid away from view as I eavesdropped on the conversation that my employees were having, they were discussing me as I heard my name mentioned.

"Did you know that Mr. Felix is actually doing rounds around the building?" The one girl said, sadly I did not know her name, certainly one more attribute of the terrible boss I was.

"I wonder what brought about this change. He never ever does rounds?" The other male staff commented, pausing to drink his coffee.

"Maybe he's looking for a mistress" The female employee joked, this setting off in me that I could not identify.

"Oh please Felicia, we all know that our boss is gay. I mean for the past two years he's never been caught sneaking a woman in his house and he hardly seems to notice all his secretaries that work for him" The male employee commented and this shocked me that they would think that of me.

Me. Gay? I asked myself, as I wondered why they would jump to that conclusion.

After listening to them a while longer, I decided to go back to my office and think about what my employees said about me. After trying to work for another half an hour, I had finally given up because their words kept replying in my head.

My phone rang and I was not in the mood for this call or any other call for that matter.

Please do not be a client! I consciously begged that it was not a client. I retrieved my phone from my pocket and looking at the caller ID, I saw that it was Kyle.

Damn it, he is worse than a client is. I thought. I answered my phone and put on the best and calmest voice I have ever used.

"Hey Kyle" I responded to him, hoping that he had not let me down with regards to taking care of Cindy.

"Hey dude promise me that you won't be mad at me or blame me?" Kyle started with his sentence, a million thoughts went through my head almost at once and I concluded.

Cindy ran away. That was all that I could think as adrenaline ran through my body.

"Felix she ran away" Kyle informed me, confirming my thoughts.

"What? How did you lose her, Kyle? She is an entire human being and not a kid in a candy store!" I yelled at Kyle as I thought of the implication of Cindy, running away would do to both Kyle and me.

"Look Felix, I've searched the entire neighborhood for her and still nothing" Kyle informed me but that was not what I had wanted to hear from him.
